    Dean Martin (the entire rat pack really)
    Jonathan winters
    Sid Caesar.
    Phyllis Diller
    Don Knots

    So many of the great comics of the 50s/60s are gone and we're all worse off for it in a world of nothing but fart jokes. These men could be dirty without you even realizing it.

    I agree with Leslie Nielson, he made the worst movies better.
    Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, the grumpy old men movies are funny no matter what.
    Peter Graves: i only list him because he made the Airplane movies that much better

    This pretty much. Seeing him front row a couple years before he died was something I'll never forget.
